حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " طَعَامُ الاِثْنَيْنِ كَافِي الثَّلاَثَةِ وَطَعَامُ الثَّلاَثَةِ كَافِي الأَرْبَعَةِ " .
Translation
Yahya ibn Yahya said: I read to Malik, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayra, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The food of two is enough for three, and the food of three is enough for four.”
